Who is the person you love experiencing live performance with?

For Valerie Moore, it's her best friend Mary.

But her story with the Fredericton Playhouse began more than 50 years ago, when Valerie and her late husband were university sweethearts. After the passing of both of their partners, Valerie and Mary continued their tradition of sharing evenings at the Playhouse and making new memories together.

At this year’s Season Launch, Valerie’s name was randomly drawn to win her entire season order for free.

Her reaction (and what she chose to do with those winnings) made the moment even more meaningful.

Watch Valerie share this story in her own words. And tell us: who is your favourite person to come to the Playhouse with? 👇💭

Nearly 50 years into her career, Marie Chouinard continues to find new ways to show us what the human body can do.

Our Programs Manager, Lesandra, filled us in on Compagnie Marie Chouinard's MAGNIFICAT, her top pick from our upcoming Spotlight Series lineup.

Set to Bach’s monumental Magnificat, Chouinard’s latest work brings 12 dancers together in a performance that is bold, physical, and unmistakably her own.


October 5 | 7:30 PM

This performance is in partnership with Centre communautaire Sainte-Anne, Connection Dance Works, and Youth Dance Fest East.
